Taking their cue from Limp Bizkit, Slayer are inviting aspiring drummers the chance to fill in for Paul Bostaph, who recently left the band due to chronic elbow pain. Candidates must videotape themselves drumming to ten select Slayer tunes and auditions will be held next month in Peoria, Dallas and San Francisco. Until they find a replacement, Slayer will be on the road beginning January 24th in New Haven, Connecticut, with original drummer Dave Lombardo.
